applied exercises

Microbiology is practically more useful when a student can apply the knowledge to diagnose a clinical condition. Hence, I have come up with few fictitious cases containing descriptions of signs and symptoms. These are followed by relevant questions and their answers. Photographs are provided at relevant locations; however one has to place the mouse above the links to see the images.

I will come up with few more cases in due course of time. Click here if you want to view the ready slides with cases and questions (without answers).
